Hey moot, why don't you let pass users bypass individual IP blocks?
I refuse to disable my VPN, so it means I can't post any more. A shame 4chan has no way for privacy conscious users to post, especially given your support of StopWatching.us and such.

- Guvante 13y agoIt heavily depends on how they implement IP bans. Often they are done at a much lower level, making verifying the user is logged in impossible. Doing them at a high level usually makes the ban not effective as they still waste a bunch of overhead. The alternative is to have two views of the site that hit different servers, one that requires login and another that does not, but that introduces a whole slew of other problems. It would probably be the way to go if you wanted to do this however.

- doctorfoo 13y agoI have one. > "4chan Pass users may bypass ISP, IP range, and country blocks" > "Pass users cannot bypass individual (regular) IP bans." So, if some random spammer uses the same VPN server, it gets blocked by an individual ban. This rapidly happens to all popular shared VPNs.
